@Keith_Fahey: Reason i had the surgery was to get another few yrs playing football.. #simples

Now I'm here though, I can't see anything wrong with Fahey's decision. He just wants to play the game as long as he can. Don't stop him now.

Anyone know when he last played on Oriel?Quote:

Can you express that sentiment in the form of a Queen pun?Quote:

We have what we have, inherited from the previous regimes who thought it was a good idea at the time. To be honest with the pitch I would love to see it torn up. These conversations are becoming a bore now and while there is no real hardcore evidence to say that the pitch causes any serious injury or the best still is the "unnatural bounce" which is absurd because a balls bounce is dictated by the speed and spin on the ball in which it bounces. I have said it before that no other pitch in the country is put through a more rigorous testing than oriel park but time and time again it is still criticised.
Although we are made to play in dalymount with knee height grass. Last month we had to pay in tallaght were the pitch was waterlogged and was pretty dangerous as a result. United park was quite bald in place and the slope in the Brandwell no one seems to mention.
The pitch isn't probably going to be changed anytime soon. For a number of factors is that there are probably more pursuing concerns in oriel and we can't afford anything what it would cost to revert back to grass.
I don't want to get dragged into a debate on the pitch because, like you, I find it boring, but I think it's worth pointing out that this is not true. Leaving Cert applied maths shows* that the elasticity, e, of a surface (e.g. the Oriel Park pitch) absolutely affects an object's (e.g. a ball) bounce.Quote:

Ooh applied maths for Leaving Cert is it? Nerd.
Gotta inject some manner of fact into this debate!
You can prove anything with facts.
Have you seen internet forums lately?
You'd know there were LOI games this week that's for sure. A whole week without any kind of football.
2 weeks for Keith FaheyQuote:

Nothing to do with my post.
I was just correcting jinxy when he said bounce is solely dependent on a ball's speed and spin.
Dont forget the pressure at which the ball is inflated influencing the surface area meetind the pitchQuote:
